I’m a big fan of curries in my camping food, and have done so in black bear country with no issues.

Below is a link to a podcast from Practical Backpacking that contains an interview with a Black Bear expert from Yosemite and is quite educational:http://www.practicalbackpacking.com/show/tag/yosemite/

My take away from that podcast is that any food can attract Black Bears regardless of how pungent it is. The key is correctly dealing with your food so that the bears do not become habituated to humans by successfully getting at your food. I will continue to enjoy my curry!
